The Providence Weekly Gaze™. 

When we first convinced the idea of starting the present Weekly Gazette we base^ 
it upon our experience iu publishing the IVeekty Times. The Times had paid us well, 
and the Gazette, thus far, has netted us a better profit than ever the Times did. 

Three Thousand Copies are printed weekly; two thousand of which are circulated 
in the wards oi this city, which supplies one-quarter of the fiimiliesin all the different 
wards, weekly, every week supplying new families in those wards, thereby taking 
four weeks to supply the entire city. The balance one thousand, goes into "country 
villages th.iough the State : never two in succession iu the same village. We think this 
is the whole secret of success. The Gazette has now been published five years, and 
has become a " fixed fact." We desire to give the readers of our paper a full reading 
page, but as yet have been unable to do so, but will as soon as our nari'ow hmits 
will admit. 

«®=* Thankful for the very liberal patronage already received, we iuvite the citizens 
of the State generally, to call and see
